From the old country decor, complete with genuine antiques and memorabilia, to the sweet smell of confection that hits you like a chocolate truffle upside the head, step through the doors and step back in time. The days were simpler then, and the big decision of the day was whether to have a Root Beer Float or an Ice Cream Sundae. So come on in, browse around, stop for a game of checkers or a chat with the owners of Tall Pines, and just enjoy a bit of nostalgia
"One of the most beautiful and breathtaking parts of the Unadilla River. Wildlife is abundant. Great fishing."- The Unadilla River Canoe Guide
Enjoy the beauty and adventure of the Unadilla and Susquehanna Rivers from atop a canoe! Shaded here and there with giant willows, and crossed periodically by small bridges, you'll feel like you're in a nostalgic Norman Rockwell painting as you float past small dairy farms and rural villages.
